The lottery is daylight robbery of the poor, who are in fact subsidising the rich. Especially the USA Powerball, which is a clandestine regressive tax on the poor... here are some stats:thehappyone wrote:euromillions

$70 billion dollars spent by poor Americans in 2014 on buying lottery tickets.
Around 20% of US states earn more tax revenue from lottery sales than from Corporation tax.
Over 50% of lottery revenues & winnings goes back to government as federal, state and city taxes.
Some of this money is used to REDUCE property taxes, sales taxes and income taxes.
This results in the relatively affluent getting a tax rebate, whilst the relatively poor fund the difference.
That's really f'd up

Me too Ina Adeer. Waxaan la yaabey marka uu qof Somali ah kuu sheego, hebel iyo hebel Somalia ayuu aadeey oo waxaa laga dhigey agaasimaha wasaaradda X and Y oo waa la cageeysana oo Dubai ama Doha ayuu villooyin Ka iibsanaa. Sheekada waa xalaaleeynta corruption. We became a society that encourages corruption, graft and stealing funds uu gaalka ugu deeqay dadka liita oo baahan. Yet, we claim to possess a superior Islamic morality than the non-Muslim donors.GAMES wrote:LooL damn i chose the wrong profession.Machiavelli2 wrote:Become a Somali xildhibaan and whenever you scream mooshin in Parliament, $5000 comes your way.
